Indeed. Fortunately for me this email address is a spam trap so it doesn't much matter as far as the address is concerned. I also reset the IP after 1-2 days. However it seems to me that publishing full headers w/IP address *and* full email address on the archives (even on the standard archive view) for the spambots etc to harvest is just plain rude. NB-gripe: I also find the requirement for lists vs a proper closed/non-archived nntp server pretty strange these days. Seems to me that OOo could set up a non-archived nntp server like the news.mozilla.org/mozilla.support.seamonkey and/or new.grc.com etc servers pretty easily. I only use the nntp gmane.comp.openoffice.x server for posting & reading... I couldn't imagine trying to follow anything were I only subscribed to a list and had to try to follow and/or view threads via email only. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
